Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licenses in New Jersey and Colorado. In my thirty-seven years of practice, I've worked with individuals, couples, families and groups. After working in a hospital system for many years. I've developed an expertise in working with people with chronic illness, depression and loss. I have a certification in mindfulness based proactices which can be truly helpful when working with either illness or emotional challenges. I've also been dedicated to helping women with body issues and self-esteem. I also have significant experience working with young professionals as they navigate their careers and personal challenges.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I'll gather some background information and explore the issues that brought you to therapy. By the end of our session, we typically have treatment goals to focus on for our upcoming sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Having worked for over three decades, I feel I provide a supportive, caring and safe environment .

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness Based Therapy helps someone see their strengths and weaknesses with more openess, compassion, curiosity. Through the use of mindfulness practices, one learns to identify their emotions, sensations and thought which helps one make informed and conscious changes.

Compassion Focused

Compassion focused therapy goes hand in hand with mindfulness based practices. One learns to identify the negative thoughts and beliefs with clarity. It helps a person to understand the negativity "lens" which guides their thoughts, decisions, perspective and even their immune system. With understanding and compassion, a person can learn more compassionate self talk which can influence their relationship to themselves and others.
